UNPRI's Board has this week issued an eight point action plan calling for more investment in active ownership and oversight.

In an open admission that investors have had a role to play in current difficulties, Donald MacDonald, Chair of the PRI Initiative and a Trustee of the BT Pension Scheme called for PRI signatories to "lead from the front" in rebuilding trust and confidence in markets.

The eight points include:

  • Investing more in responsible investment activities
  • Incentivising research providers to enhance research capacity
  • Investing in active ownership capability
  • Public disclosure of responsible investment activities
